To be fair there is something hilarious imagining him using “nigga” in any context… particularly how he’d stretch the corners of his mouth back and over pronounce it
Also, this is the least surprising “news” I’ve ever heard
JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.
I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)
God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.
The last couple are kind of meandering and forgettable.
The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer as poppa Herbert
The legends books are garbage
The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.
I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome
Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens
So the article (from 2 presidential administration’s ago) details someone who wouldn’t accept male Indian interns due to the country’s reputation. It does nothing to debunk the argument that rape is not an endemic problem in India, just that some shithead German professor threw the baby out with the bathwater. Okay, fine. We can get #NotAllIndians trending even tho I’m pointing out that it’s a cultural issue, not a race thing like you keep trying to shoehorn into this discussion.
By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality? Cool. That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it
Anyhow, I’m also not going to travel to the horn of Africa, chunks of the middle east, North Korea, Belarus or Gary Indiana for that matter. I’m just too closed minded I guess.
